Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Pumpkin Truffles
- In a food processor, combine the almond flour and pumpkin seeds, pulsing until finely ground, about 20-30 seconds.
- Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup or honey, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Process until well blended and smooth.
- Check consistency; if too wet, mix in more almond flour. Roll tablespoon-sized portions into balls resembling golf balls.
- Transfer rolled balls to a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and return to tray, ensuring excess chocolate drains off.
- If desired, sprinkle crushed pumpkin seeds or sea salt over truffles before chocolate sets. Refrigerate to let chocolate firm.
- After an hour, ensure chocolate is set. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
